  • Patent number: 9947911
    Abstract: A battery pack includes a battery assembly having a plurality of battery cells, a busbar module that includes a plurality of conductors and an insulating member which holds the conductors, a battery control unit provided at an end portion of the battery assembly in an arrangement direction of the battery cells, and an extraction conductor that connects a total electrode terminal connected to the battery assembly to a main circuit terminal of the battery control unit. The extraction conductor has a water escape portion which is located below an imaginary line connecting the total electrode terminal to the main circuit terminal, and an upper end of the water escape portion is formed at a location that is lower than a lower end of the main circuit terminal.

  • Patent number: 9153849
    Abstract: A drawing section 35 for electric wires 17 is formed such that a bottom plate 37 and a side wall 39 of a wiring path 21 are extended to be projected from an insulating plate 23. A tongue piece 43 around which a tape is wound together with the wires 17, is formed on the drawing section 35. The tongue piece 43 is bent in a direction opposite to a rising direction of the side wall 39 of the drawing section 35 so that a projection dimension of the tongue piece 43 is reduced.
